Most greetings are not a question and do not call for a question mark. But sometimes you want to say hello, who is there? In that case you do use a question mark. If you are saying hello to someone and you do know who that person is, then it is not a question. Hello Mark, good to see you. You may also ask, how are you? That is kind of a greeting but it is really more of a pleasantry or general conversation, rather than a greeting. If you ask "how are you?" but you don't really want to know the answer to the question, it's just a nice thing to say, then it qualifies as a greeting with a question mark.
